PREVIOUSLY, September 6: There’s been a detour on Thunder Road.

Bruce Springsteen has postponed all of his concerts in September as he gets treatment for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease. “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,” he said on social media. “We’ve been having a blast at our U.S. shows, and we’re looking forward to more great times.

“We’ll be back soon,” he added. See his full statement below.

The announcement added that “the decision of his medical advisers is that he should postpone the remainder of his September shows.”

The news comes three weeks after The Boss postponed a pair of dates in Philadelphia, citing an unspecified illness. Earlier this year, Springsteen had to miss being honored by his native New Jersey with a proclamation declaring “Bruce Springsteen Day” because he contracted Covid.

The first affected show is Thursday night’s gig at the JMNA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY. Springsteen, 73, and the E Street Band also were set to play this month in Baltimore, Pittsburgh (twice), Uncasville (Connecticut), Albany, Columbus and Washington, D.C.

The tour is scheduled to resume November 3 with a gig in Vancouver, with two Los Angeles-area stop at the Kia Forum in early December.

Here is Springsteen’s full statement: “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows. First, our apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. We’ve been having a blast at our U.S. shows, and we’re looking forward to more great times.”

Here is a list of the postponed shows:
